'Opening is my bread and butter' - Uthappa
Since moving up to the top of the order, Robin Uthappa has been in roaring form, his three innings as opener bringing him scores of 47, 65 and 47 at a strike rate of 128.23. Uthappa says he told the Kolkata Knight Riders team management he was at his most comfortable while opening the batting, and they gave him the opportunity to do so.
"I am loving it!" he told iplt20.com, when asked about the move up the order. "It is where I feel at home; that is my bread and butter. So, I just love opening the batting. I think that's where I do the best and that is something I was telling the support staff and Gautam, and I had a conversation with them about it. I am glad that they gave me an opportunity and that I have been able to utilise that opportunity in a way that has been meaningful for the team."
